o [YDIF] connectors
These connectors are used to make a ring connection with the devices that comprise the MTX system, allowing digital audio signals to be transmitted and received. Use CAT5e or better Ethernet STP cables (shielded twisted pair cables) that have all eight pins connected in a straight connection. The maximum cable length between devices is 30 meters, and you can connect up to eight devices that are equipped with the [YDIF] connectors. For details, refer to the MTX Editor
User’s Manual.
!0 [ST IN] connectors
These are unbalanced RCA phono jacks for inputting analog audio signals from a CD player or other device.
!1 [INPUT]/[OUTPUT] connectors
These are balanced input/output connectors for analog audio input and output. Connect line level devices or microphones to the [INPUT] connectors, and line level devices to the
[OUTPUT] connectors. The [INPUT] connectors provide head amps, and can also provide +48V phantom power.
MTX Editor is used to specify the gain of the internal head amps and to turn the phantom power on/off.
Use the included Euroblock plugs to make connections (see
“Euroblock plug connection” on page 12 for details).
NOTE
Adjusting the internal head amp gain between +17 dB and
+18 dB will internally turn PAD on/off. Noise may occur if there is an impedance difference between the Hot and Cold of a device connected to the [INPUT] connectors while phantom power is being used.

MTX3 Owner’s Manual
Various Procedures
Recalling (switching) presets
With the MTX system, input/output port patching, matrix mixer settings, and the parameters of XMV amps within the same
MTX system are stored together as a “preset” in the MTX3 and in MTX Editor for recall when desired.
Each MTX system can store 50 presets. MTX Editor is used to edit presets.
Each preset contains settings such as the following.
• Input/output port settings and patching
• Input/output channel gain and EQ settings
• Matrix mixer settings
• Zone settings
• Routing settings
• Effect settings
• DCA and mute group settings
• Parameter settings for XMV devices within the same MTX system
• Preset name
For details, refer to “MTX Editor User’s Manual.”
Switching presets from the MTX3
1. While watching the [PRESET] display, use the [
s]/[t] buttons to select the preset
number that you want to recall.
The [PRESET] display will flash during this time.
2. Press the [ENTER] button to confirm your selection.
The [PRESET] display will stop flashing; the preset has been recalled.
NOTE
• If you leave the device for 30 seconds with the [PRE-
SET] display flashing, it will revert to the previous preset number.
• If a control panel such as a DCP series unit is connected, you’ll be able to easily switch presets.
Setting the clock
Each time the devices connected to the MTX system are brought online, the date and time of the computer will be transmitted to all devices, automatically updating their internal clocks.
You can also update the date and time settings on all devices connected to the same network by transmitting the computer’s date and time settings from the “Clock” dialog box in MTX
Editor.
For more information on operation, refer to “MTX Editor
User’s Manual.”
Using the scheduler
The scheduler can switch presets or play music and sound effects from the SD memory card at the date and time you specify. Each such setting is called an “event.”
Event settings are made in the “Scheduler” dialog box of MTX
Editor. For details on operation, refer to “MTX Editor User’s
Manual.”

Various Procedures
Connecting via the [GPI] connector
GPI (General Purpose Interface) devices can be connected to the rear-panel [GPI] connectors. GPI allows a variety of control signals to be exchanged with external controllers or other devices.
The MTX3 provides 8 input ports and 4 output ports.
• The +5VDC terminals have an output voltage of 5V. The maximum current draw is 100 mA total for the two terminals. If you are using a switch/variable resistor and an LED/ relay simultaneously, connect one terminal to the switch/ variable resistor and the other terminal to the LED/relay.
• The [IN]-1–7 terminals detect voltage changes from 0V to
5V. The [IN]-8 terminal alone supports +24V input; voltages in the range of 2.5–24V are detected as High, and voltages below 2.5V are detected as Low.
• The [OUT]-1–4 terminals are open collector outputs; they will change between open or closed (Ground). The maximum voltage that can be applied is +12V. The maximum current draw is 75 mA per port.
The GPI controller parameters are assigned via the MTX Editor application.
Euroblock plugs (16-pin) are used for connections to the [GPI]
connector. For details, refer to “Euroblock plug connection” on page 12.
NOTE
By making input/output channel settings in MTX Editor, you can recall presets or edit parameters on an external GPI device or send signals to it. For details, refer to the “MTX Editor User’s
Manual.”
